Adjustable camber plates?

Anyone using adjustable camber plates? Are they easy to adjust? Happy with how they work?

Check out the Moreno motor sports thread in the suspension section. I like mine a lot and they're really easy to adjust.

+1 the Moreno plates do exactly what they should. Don't get them just to check a line item off a list though; get them because you need them to get your alignment where you need it on the track. There's no reason to run more camber than the factory adjustment gives you for the street.

After 2 track days im seeing pretty severe outside tire wear with track alignment at -2.0. Understeer is a bit much at that setting...

Is -2° what the adjustment maxed out at? I was able to get -2.5° which is giving me pretty even tire wear on the stock supercar 3's. With a stickier tire more camber would probably be beneficial.

Have them and love them on my non-1LE. -3* felt pretty damn good on a tight track

I was able to get -2.7 in stock form. I have yet to install my camber plates because at this point I really don't need more than 2.7. If I ever come across a track or a tire that requires more than -2.7, I will install. Until then, they look pretty cool on my desk.

Also worth consideration; use the camber plates and then pull camber out of the knuckle to gain clearance for wider tires. That was one of the reasons I got them. I also have mine set up for 1.0° more caster, which is almost ZL1 1LE levels of track alignment caster. This gives the car more dynamic camber, something the car definitely needs on the front.

That was actually the reason I got them, to use the ZL11LE wheels w/o spacers or grinding. I just havent used those wheels yet

Will the 1Le fronts fit with the camber plates? nice. I'm currently on 19x10 with 285's but would like to maybe move up to 19x10.5 with 305's if I can get them to fit with no grinding and not an obscene amount of poke.

Well, 305's in front will poke unless you go offset struts like Rotis did with his MCS setup.
